AI Models Can't Be Trusted in High-Stakes Simulations Just Yet

This article benchmarks GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 as formal simulators, testing their ability to model state spaces in common-sense and early scientific reasoning tasks. While these models show promise, they achieve only modest accuracy and raise ethical concerns, particularly around misinformation and unsafe outputs. The study highlights both the potential and the risks of using LLMs for simulations, framing the work as an early step toward more capable and responsible AI simulators.
